Nguyet,
I am new at this as well too and I have a method...
I am not sure it is the best method but here it goes:
After loading the world project in VC6
I selected all the www projects in the workspace.
Then I right clicked on them and chose
"Build (selection only)" because many of these libraries
depend on others they did not all build the first time.
I repeated this step and everything built.
Oh yeah (it seems as if I might have needed to move the header files
from Library\External to Library\Src as well.
Hope this helps.

PS: my event loop issue was solved thanks to Jans Meggers
Thanks again.
I needed to add a default time out to the end of the
HTHost_new in HTHost.c:
// very end of function
}
if (pres) pres->retry = 3;
return pres;
}
And I needed to add Code to the function htdoconnect() in HTtcp.c
...
case TCP_NEED_CONNECT:
#ifdef WWW_WIN_ASYNC
// for each connection attempt, decrease the retry value
HTHost_decreaseRetry (host);
if (!HTHost_retry(host)) {
host->tcpstate = TCP_ERROR;
break;
}
HTHost_register(host, net, HTEvent_CONNECT);
#endif
...

Subject: Error Building libwww 5.3.2
Hi,
I am a new user who needs to use the 5.3.2 version of libwww on Windows NT
4.0. Here are the steps I did:
1. Downloaded the libwww-win32.zip and unpacked it.
2. Opened world.dsw project in MSVC++6.0 and attempted to rebuild
everything.
3. Encountered the following error:
=====================================================================
Build : warning : failed to (or don't know how to) build
'E:\C_CPP\libwww5.3.2\libwww-win32\Library\src\HTZip.c'
Build : warning : failed to (or don't know how to) build
'E:\C_CPP\libwww5.3.2\libwww-win32\WinCom\WinCom.rc'
--------------------Configuration: wwwdll - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
windll.c
wwwdll.c
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ".\wwwdll.def"
Error executing link.exe.
WinCom.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
=====================================================================
I searched previous postings on this subject and found some responses to a
similar question dated back in Dec. 2000; but still don't know how to
proceed:
1. Vladimir suggested updating the project (downloading the
libwww-win32.zip) => I have already downloaded this file.
2. Jose suggested boostraping the code to get the .def files. He
mentioned a Perl script provided by Eric Prud. => I had no idea what I was
supposed to look for, went there anyway to browse, but came back emty
handed.
I am hoping to get some help from those of you who have "been there done
that!"
Thanks alot in advance,
Nguyet
